Chain of Command España: A One-Stop Source

NEW UPDATES: Raggruppamento Repartí Specializzati (Italian armour and special units)

As mentioned a few days ago, TooFatlardies started the publication of materials to play the Spanish Civil War with Chain of Command (CoC España), an herculean task undertaken by fellow Lardites ("Lardistas"?) Jim Hale and Rolf Grain.

Over the Christmas period TooFatLardies official blog "Lard Island"
has been releasing new lists covering in high level of detail the
different actors of this conflict. In this post I want to make the
compilation of all the available materials, aiming to become a one-stop
point to any person interested in the period. This post will be
republished and updated with the release of new materials.

In
addition to the lists, each specific entry in the Lard Island blog has a
very interesting introduction that provides useful background
information, that I strongly recommend to read in conjunction with the
lists.

Rules and QRS
The specific rules applying to SCW can be downloaded here. In the same location you'll have access to a specific quick reference sheet to play your games

Other information
The 2013 Christmas Special
includes interesting articles on the historical background to the
conflict, the Spanish army organisation before the July 1936 uprising,
the use of armoured lorries ("Tiznaos") and the AFV's used in Spain
(mainly Russian, Italian and German).
